  摘要：Maintaining a vibrant field of public administration requires ongoing efforts to link the worlds of academic researchers and practitioners.

In administrative terms, the crisis brought about the dissolution of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. This article examines the institutional context in which decisions ab...
